andBeyond Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp

This camp has a fantastic location in the Maasai Mara. As soon as we landed at the airstrip, we were greeted by Ken, our guide for the stay, with coffee, tea, soda, beer, and biscuits. Just in case, I got my camera and lens out from the luggage for the ride to the Camp and was glad I did. We saw 3 of the big 5 on the way in, and Ken knew just when the animals would be where along our path.|Ken was a fantastic guide for the visit. He knew where to be when and got us the best angles for viewing. He made it very enjoyable and educational.|The Camp had everything you could possibly want. The atmosphere was very calming and relaxing. The rooms are well-appointed with comfy beds and a great shower with a view of the Maasai Mara. Our room and clothes were cleaned every day by our attendant and she did a fantastic job.|We were also assigned a guide for the food at the lodge, our own personal waiter for every meal. He made sure we had plenty of our favorite drinks and offered many suggestions. He mentioned they had an Indian chef on the first day we were there and that he could make Indian specialities if I wanted. I put Chef Martin to the test and had him make Dosa, Upma, Okra fry, Eggplant curry, and spinach curry. He came through and even surprised us with some potato bajjis. The food was always outstanding.|If you are planning a trip to the Maasai Mara, you won't go wrong choosing this place.

The safari and accommodation were excellent. There were no mosquitoes- I only saw a dead one. The service was amazing. Coffee delivered to your tent in the morning. Laundry done for you. Personal server for your meals. The food could have been a bit better. They had a lot of stews that I didn’t try though. We found out the last day they had a pool menu for hamburgers and fries. Nicholas Ratia our guide was amazing and is on TikTok. That man can drive a jeep. He would do everything in his power to get the best view of an animal. Bring a sports bra and warm clothes. It was cold and windy in the mornings but they provide blankets.

could not recommend this beautiful place more, best quality of stay during our entire trip in Kenya and we genuinely can’t wait to return!! great food, incredible cocktails, and shout out to our amazing safari guide, Dennis, who really made the experience once in a lifetime. Abigail, Wilbeforce, and Peter were also fantastic. give them all a raise! will definitely be considering andBeyond’s other properties across the globe from here on out.

We visited Kenya for our honeymoon in November 2024 and had an incredible experience. We stayed at Beyond Camp, which had a great pool area where you could even watch wildlife while swimming. Warthogs wandered through the camp, which was fun to see. The food was very good (and I’m quite a picky eater), and the bush breakfast was a real highlight. Our superior tent was comfortable and had everything we needed. Hearing lions roar in the mornings felt surreal, and we loved the coffee and cookies delivered before each game drive. The game drives were the best part of the trip. Our guide, Zack, was outstanding – knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about both the wildlife and the Masai culture. He even cooked us breakfast in the bush, which made for a day we’ll never forget. Thanks to him, we were able to see the Big Five, including the black rhino multiple times, and had an incredible close-up encounter with lions. Overall, it was a memorable trip and a perfect way to spend our honeymoon and my 30th. We’d highly recommend Beyond Camp and especially our guide, Zack. Would also recommend the hot air balloon ride.. again a once in a lifetime experience!

Such a special special place, amazing experience, such kind and thoughtful staff, delicious food, great accommodation and the scenery and animals are just stunning. I really cannot recommend this place enough. Our guide, Dennis, was so knowledgeable and we had such a great time out in the Mara triangle with him. Saw all the big 5 plus lots lots more. The food was so fresh and delicious and the staff just make the place. Friendly, professional and nothing is too much hassle. They clearly take pride in all that they do. It was a five star experience from start to finish.

I recently escorted a group to Kenya, staying 3 nights at this AMAZING property. What a treat, from our arrival , we were treated so well , the staff were amazing. We each had our own tent steward take care of our morning tea or coffee or hot chocolate brought to us , and our luxury tents were spotlessly kept each day. I was blown away by how attentive they were. The butlers Abigail and Cate were fantastic and looked after my group so well. We were surprised with a stunning sunset dinner in the bush and a hot bush breakfast too.

My wife and I spent our honeymoon at the Kichwa Tempo AndBeyond camp in Kenya. We cannot speak more highly of the experience. The first thing we need to mention is our safari guide Moses. He led our game drives which was morning and night for 4 days. He was polite, respectful, funny, and an expert in all things safari. He made the drives entertaining and educational at the same time. He made us feel safe while on game rides, ensuring we were comfortable and happy with the experience the entire time. The safari itself is a once in a lifetime experience. We saw almost every animal we wanted to, and the landscape/views are amazing. The drives themselves were executed and operated very well, on time every day and Moses allowed us to dictate which areas we spent time in to try to see specific animals. The resort property was beautiful and it sat right up against a grassy area where giraffes and elephants can come and eat. The restaurant was very nice, but a little buggy when eating outside. The bar and lounge area was a great way to relax after our ride. The pool looking out onto the landscape was a great way to refresh in between the morning and night rides. The food was very good at each meal. We especially enjoyed the coffee and breakfast cookie they left with us each morning before the game ride. Overall a really great experience and would highly recommend.

This was the first stop on our honeymoon in Africa — and what a way to start!|I absolutely recommend it. Everything was spectacular, from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. The staff played a huge role in making our experience unforgettable… truly every single one of them. Nicholas our guide was the best, also Edward, Joshua, George the chef…||The food was delicious, buffet — comforting and full of flavor. It really made us feel at home.||Bush breakfast with Nico… the best experience.||The tents were excellent — Every detail made us feel pampered and special.||I would return in a heartbeat. We visited during the rainy season (afternoon ride), but it was still a beautiful and very pleasant experience.
